Indicators of wrong fuel
After refueling your tank, your car may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. In the event your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your car starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your car comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.

That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You'll want to look back at what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- Being in a car or truck you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
You should note that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause similar signs described above. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.
The running of the engine is generally enhanced making use of a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. However, it should just be utilized by professionals who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.
Just like when a vehicle has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to move smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. Good news is we are always willing to help. Our technicians are not only knowledgeable on how to handle this issue but also on how to solve the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.
When handling flammable materials, you would require not only the right expertise but also the right equipment. Otherwise, the fuel may ignite and what initially was easy to contain may turn into a disaster. It is therefore recommended you involve an expert whenever you are handling fuel related issues, though doing it on your own or involving a friend may be cheaper.
We are experts in coping with whatever vehicle problems you have. Our technicians are well distributed all around the country and on call 24/7, prepared to deal with a wide range of problems quickly and efficiently, at a fair and economical price.
Avoid further expenses by not selecting something cheap. If you are inexperienced or you ask an inexperienced friend to manage your problem to save expenses, it’s possible you might lose the vehicle, instead. Remember you will still need to purchase clean fuel which may involve extra transportation costs. Allowing our technicians to serve is both secure and cost-effective. We will not take advantage of your pocket, and we will come with fresh fuel to re-fill your tank and also charge similar price as that charged in petrol stations. Furthermore, we will help you to get rid of contaminated fuel in a safe manner.
Correct Disposal
Proper disposal of contaminated fuel is not only part of the incorrect fuel service but also a service that we deliver to businesses and private individuals separately. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or get rid of the contaminated oil is that they grant us full access to the containers and whether they are fixed storage containers, mobile tanks or a combination of tanks, they can trust us to do it in an appropriate and environmentally friendly way.
Once our mechanic arrives, you will be surprised at how fast they can drain and flush your fuel system and have sufficient nice clean fuel in your tank, to get you to the closest fuel station. If your car has suffered other wrong fuel related problems like a broken fuel filter or a flat battery, our technician will advise you and sometimes change parts and jump start your car to get you on your way.
There is also a probability, though it's a rare case, that the problem is actually not incorrect or contaminated fuel, do not worry, you can still go back to your trip. He will determine what really the problem is and its cause. Instead of the agreed quoted cost, he'll only ask you a reasonable call out charge.
Will it take long
Works by the mechanic won't take very long, so you don't need to wait for hours. We typically target about half an hour. After that, you will be back on the road.
By allowing us help you, we hope to make you realise that this issue is not as bad as you first expected. Thanks for letting us give our services to you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shore - Petrol in Diesel Car Shore
Now I'm not that inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just departed home filled with a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was en route to deal with a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his Shore. He was located nearby and so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on something else and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any problems by simply driving it?" I determined generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd drain the wrong fuel at once. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip without any bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this helps make working on weekends just that little bit less painful for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Shore - Fuel Rescue Shore
A woman with her little ones in her diesel Shore had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the BP station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."
